Alright, today i improved on the textfield Gadget. Now it works almost
exactly like a regular windows textfield, the only thing its missing is
the ability to highlight text as well as copy paste features. I also Got
List Gadgets done, those were a little tough it pretty much consisted
of a panel type a scrollbar child and then a bunch of sub button types
as gadget items and hopefully soon i’ll get icons in there too. Here is a
screeny of where i’m at currently. and a demo http://www.endsoflegend.com/vgluidemo.zip http://www.endsoflegend.com |

Well it’s looking really good now. I added a taskbar gadget for
minimized windows to sit until you need them again, Also i got Vertical
and Horizontal Scrollbars working and completely functional. They pretty
much work like any other scrollbar gadget just set the ranges and the
bars will resize accordingly. I did however make sure the scrollbar
button can’t go below its skin image’s lowest width and height. This
will prevent the ui from crashing attempting to make a button that’s
waaaaay too small. So even at some ridiculously high range it will still
work just fine. The ranges also don’t have to start at zero it can be
36-23847239854 if you want it doesnt matter. 0-0 ranges will be treated
as a disabled scrollbar. On other gadgets that will use the scrollbar as
a child i may just make the scrollbar hidden until a range greater than
0 is applied to it. Here is a screenie of the latest works. http://www.endsoflegend.com |

Today I did a major reworking of the internal scripting on my UI, from
the Front end it doesn’t look like much has changed. What I did was add
some inherent skin capabilities for the UI. What this means is You can
use multiple skinned UIs at the same time. Also I added some cool fading
effects for closing and minimizing windows. I also just added the
capability of moving the windows around with the pointer hadn’t gotten
to that until today. And lastly which i just added was the ability to
use custom fonts in the UI. Here is the demo if you wanna check it out http://www.endsoflegend.com/demovglui.zip http://www.endsoflegend.com |

So i decided to break out a UI lib i was working on a while back and
try to finish it up. Still have a little ways to go so far what's
working is Windows, Panels, Labels, Close & Minimize Buttons, Text
Buttons, and Textfields. The UI is completely skinnable and customizable so that will be a cool feature to play around with when i plug it into the client. http://www.endsoflegend.com |
